Is it possible to use the
Accessory Kit for the legacy Photon 320 (PN 421-0021-00) with a legacy
Photon 640 camera?

This question applies to the legacy Photon camera models. The
Photon product line and its accessories have been discontinued. The
information here is provided for historical reference.

Connection to a legacy Photon 640 camera can be done using
legacy Photon 320 accessories kit if you are using the legacy Photon
320 interface cable (308-0076-00-xx) and a wearsaver connector
(250-0194-00) which converts the 30-pin SAMTEC connector to a 15-pin
D-sub connector. In this case, the RS-232 communications, analog video
output, and input power will operate normally. However, the digital
video
will not operate.

However, FLIR does NOT recommend connecting a legacy Photon
640 to a legacy Photon 320 I/O module using a legacy Photon 640
interface cable part number 308-0144-0X. The digital video output will
not operate, and making such a connection will short one of the camera
digital outputs to ground, potentially causing damage to the camera.

The legacy Photon 640 was designed to be used with the
‘universal’ I/O module, part number 333-0018-00. The universal I/O
module can be used with either the legacy Photon 640 or the legacy
Photon 320, and with either interface cable. Legacy Photon 320 I/O
modules and camera interface cables are grey. Legacy Photon 640 I/O
modules are blue, and the camera interface cable 26-pin connector ends
are blue.
